I sent my CECHA PS3 system to have the CD laser replaced. When I got it back, I plugged it in, not realizing that the power switch was in the On position, and the light immediately turned green. Despite this, there was no picture, and I couldn't connect a controller. I tried booting into safe...
A few days ago the clock quit working on my friend's PS2, so I figured the battery had croaked. Since it's expensive to take it to a game store and replace it (half the price of buying a new one), I offered to do it for free. He gives me the system and a loose battery, I take two hours...
I just got FreeMcBoot working on my PS2 and I had an old Fujitsu IDE hard drive lying around (it looks like this). I arranged the jumpers on the drive to "Master" and tried formatting in wLaunchElf but when I say "OK", it immediately fails. The drive spins and there's a green light that flashes...
Hello, I just got a PS3 and a copy of The Beatles Rock Band. I know the DLC has been delisted ages ago but is there any way for me to put the DLC on my system without modding it?
Apartment dwellers, how is living on a middle floor? I plan to rent my first apartment soon but the apartment I want is on the third floor of a four-story building as the top floor apartments are too expensive. I'm concerned about noise from my potential upstairs neighbors. The complex I'm...
Everytime I see talk of the PS5 or the Xbox Series X/S and their fancy new 4k ray-traced 60fps graphics, all I feel is "meh."
I remember when a new console generation was exciting. I remember being amazed at how the Wii U had HD graphics or how sleek and sophisticated the PS4 and its UI looked...
i got a PS3 from a friend but the fan runs really loud and it yellow-lights three minutes into Gran Turismo 6. My local game store won't fix it. What's a good place to send it to?
I needed a new webcam (the one I have is ass) and I looked online and nothing's being sold at market price. All of the webcams I'm seeing are priced at $200+. Is it because of people working/doing class from home?
I'm getting a PS3 soon (backwards compatible so I can play all of my PlayStation series games, gonna have it refurbished so that it will last longer) and I'm just wondering what is the state of the system's online servers? Is the PlayStation Store still running? Can games still go online?
We know that the Game Boy Advance has two modes of operation: GBA mode for regular games, and GBC mode for Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. A physical switch in the cartridge slot can activate GBC mode when pressed down. My question is what happens if you were to force a Game Boy Color game to...
I mean holy crap, it's dark. In fact, I think it's even darker than the Game Boy Color's screen.
How the hell did Nintendo think that THIS was acceptable for 2001? For games with brighter color palates like Mario Kart or Mario Advance, you can see the screen pretty fine under decent lighting...
I put an SSD in my PS4 and when I went to put my games in to re-install them, at the third disc, the Blu-Ray drive began making a quiet grinding noise. Should I be concerned?
1/17 UPDATE: Nobody's responded but I'll update anyway. I figured out that pressing down on the hard drive caddy stops...
I know it's a little late to start this conversation since Sony has discontinued the Vita a year ago but better late than never.
Since Sony discontinued the PlayStation Vita, they currently have no plans for a successor system due to the system's commercial failure. That leaves Nintendo as the...
I have a soft-modded Wii and I want to figure out the best way to transfer saves from an SD card to a GameCube memory card. I heard of GameCube Saver, but I'm just wondering if there are any more recent and more stable alternatives.
The plastic thingy on the left is clearly yellower than the thingy on the right and there's a part on the daisy chain hub where it hasn't yellowed. Will the hydrogen peroxide method work?
Why did Sony scrap iLink on later PS2 models (besides the obvious reason of the network adapter hitting the market)? Did nobody use it? Did regular LAN overtake it in popularity?
I want to buy an S-Video cable for my Nintendo 64. The problem is that my TV has no S-Video ports. Is there an easy and inexpensive way to plug S-Video into my TV? I don't want to mod my system, I can't afford a Framemeister, and I have no space for a CRT.
EDIT: My TV is an RCA 32LB45RQ LCD...
My dog used to chase off my neighbors cat from our yard, till one day the cat stood its ground, and paw slapped the shit out of my dog, now the cat wonders thru my yard, and my dog don't even care anymore, he's like f that cat. Lol
